Breakfast is the most important meal and the difference between a good breakfast and a great breakfast can make or break your day. Being that I am notorious for burning toast and my general lack of domesticity, eating out has become second nature. I am a particularly picky eater, especially when it comes to breakfast foods. Because of this, I’ve learned the best and worst places to eat in Bergen County. Since I got my license a little over a year ago, i’ve ventured to many restaurants in that time. This has allowed me to compile the the most accurate list of the 5 best breakfast places in Bergen County.

Country Pancake House- Ridgewood, NJ

Although I've only been here a few times, I can guarantee these are not only the largest pancakes, but some of the best i've tried. They put the fruit right into the batter rather than on top and the pancakes are the size of your head... what more can you ask for?

Pâtisserie Florentine- Englewood, NJ

Pâtisserie Florentine is a hot spot for egg lovers. Not only is the restaurant itself an adorable, quaint place, but the menu is completely kosher and considerably versatile. Their eggs can be made almost any way you could imagine and their croissants and pastries are always served fresh.

Known for their acai bowls, Juice Journey always uses the freshest and best ingredients for their juices and smoothies. They even offer personalized juice cleanses ranging from 1-5 days. Juice Journey is a great place to get on track with a healthy lifestyle.
